1 | To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. |
2 | For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war. |
3 | Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah.) |
4 | O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall. |
5 | The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah.) |
6 | I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer. |
7 | O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight. |
8 | O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.) |
9 | As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips. |
10 | Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again. |
11 | Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow. |
12 | I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled. |
13 | Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house. |
